[The scene shows a young woman mashing buttons in frustration on the communicator. There are tears in her eyes, and stains from such down her face. Every so often a faint sob escapes her. She, however, is struggling to compose herself.]

[Woah crying girl! Pinged!-He starts out in Japanese:]

Hey, are you-what's wrong?

[and then tries (bad) English:]

Are you okay?

voice

[an_investment]

W-where am I?

...

[nope, not really okay. Watching your dad get his blood drained by a giant slug will do that to you.]

[Assuming she answered in English? Which he doesn't speak well at all. He seems to be searching for words, and trying to sound comforting:]

In... Discedo. Scientists took you. [...]

[TEXT]

This place is called Discedo. I don't speak English well. Are you hurt? Did you just arrive?

Voice

[an_investment]

[English, yes. She sniffles and wipes her eyes off screen.]

..No, I'm not hurt.

[Deep, shaky breath.]

Yea, I just arrived..

What scientists? Did the Combine do this?

[He's doing his best to follow along-his understanding of English is better than his speaking-but he has to reply in text from here on out. For the same reason, he tries to overexplain, not sure enough of his English to know if he's answering your questions right.]

I don't know what that means-this place is called Discedo, okay? It's on a different world. A group of people, they're the scientists, they took you here. Me, too. Everyone.

I know it's hard, but try an' calm down, okay? There are monsters on the streets here. You gotta get somewhere safe. My name's Sorata, okay? Can you see any street signs?

[voice]

[an_investment]

..You don't know if the Combine did this?

Wait..hold on..this is another world entirely?

The street sign here says Liddell way..

[shockinglycool]

I don't know... "combine," I don't know what you mean by it. I don't understand English very well...

[Bit frustrated that he can't understand; can't help more; let's change tacts...] Okay. From Liddel, there's two streets, Lander and Brebo. Either is okay. Follow either of them north-you don't wanna end up on Renee. Look for Ingles. There's a high school; it's safe there. Do you want me to come and find you? What's your name?

[voice]

[an_investment]

Oh my God..

...The..Combine aren't here?
I can't believe this..

My name is Alyx, I'll head that way.

I'll meet you there if you want.

and..you..haven't happened to see anyone named Gordon Freeman here, right? Or a robot named Dog?

[text]

[shockinglycool]

[More sort of blank listening; what does this mean, I can't really-he's almost frustrated]

Alyx. Okay. Just watch out for monsters. Be careful. I'll try an' find you.

I don't know those names. [He takes a guess as to what you meant:] I don't know everyone here, though.

[voice]

[an_investment]

..I'm sure I'll be fine.
